Since our flashback recipes from the 1930s “Home Makers’ Handibook” by the Women’s Service Bureau of the Detroit Free Press have been such a hit, we decided to offer recipes from another gem.

The “Detroit Free Press Cookbook: A Collection of the Best Loved Recipes from the Free Press Tower Kitchen,” by Jeremy Iggers and the late Nettie Duffield, was published in 1984 and includes recipes for local favorites, staff favorites, lots of ethnic options and recipes featuring locally made products such as Vernors.

We’ll post a recipe from this cookbook each week on. Our hope is that you, too, will enjoy recipes that were enjoyed nearly 30 years ago.

This recipe — which serves 10 people — is labeled with a knife and fork, meaning that it takes a little bit of time.
